I hope you enjoyed your Spring Break and are well rested. Be prepared on Monday to write an in-class essay on The Stranger, by Albert Camus. You will choose one of two prompts. You may use your book and your notes.
Choose one: explain Meursault's philosophy of life, or your own.
1. Throughout The Stranger we see Meursault's philosophy develop from a man who didn't think much was important through events such as his mother's death and funeral, and his trial. It is only in prison, just before his execution that he formulates his philosophy of life. What is his philosophy?
2. What is your philosophy of life? What do you believe in? How do you live your life? What do you think about life and death? How do you define morality? God? How does love factor into your life?
Remember, you are writing an essay, not simply answering the questions. Make sure you have an introduction, body and conclusion.
